My dog ate garlic crumbs and has soft stool. What should I do?

Garlic toxicity causes anemia and signs of it wouldn't show up this fast. I'm concerned it's the breadstick itself that has upset Skye's stomach. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she refuses to eat the bland diet, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

This is likely not enough garlic to pose a serious risk of toxicity. At worst, you may see some mild stomach upset. Withhold food for 24 hours and feed a bland diet in small, frequent amount until symptoms resolve.

Soft poop can be a sign of a medical problem such as intestinal worms. I see Garlic (LOVE her name!) is a puppy, and those can be common in puppies. Give her a deworming treatment and keep an eye on things. If her poop continues to be soft over the next 24-48 hours, have her seen by a vet. Best of luck.

Hello there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. It is likely that she will be ok as there is likely not enough garlic in the amount she licked to cause serious life threatening side effects. You may see vomiting or diarrhea, but this should resolve after 24-48 hours. If Cuddles becomes lethargic, is vomiting blood, inappetant, etc. then I would recommend having her examined by a veterinarian. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be happy to help you further.

If only a small piece was ingested there was likely not enough garlic to cause any problems. If you notice that Lou begins to develop any symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, inappetance, etc. Then I would recommend having a veterinarian examine him so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Fatty foods like hummus can definitely cause GI upset and diarrhea, even without the garlic. I would keep an eye on Amorie, and if the diarrhea doesn't resolve in a few days, or she seems to be getting worse, bring her into the vet, especially if there was also a large amount of garlic in the food. Sometimes, fatty foods can cause issues such as pancreatitis which can lead to symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, tender belly, blood in the vomit or stool, etc, which should be seen by a vet.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is unlikely to be an issue in terms of the garlic and onion powder as it was just a bit. This may result though in gastrointestinal upset. Watch your pup for symptoms consistent with gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting, inappetence and/or diarrhea. If these are observed, have your pup evaluated by a veterinarian. Best of luck!
